Today's Finds

Post by rgordon939 »

Picked up two nice Edison Banner machines today. Also picked up another 100 cylinders. I wonder if I'll find any more 5000 series mixed in. BothBanner machines are nice low numbers 3687 and 7757. Both have real nice Automatic reproducers, one being an 80,000 number. Just got home and slapped these pictures. I haven't even wiped them off.

Yes, indeed! I really like the early Homes, and yours look to be in great condition.

You weren't kidding when you described both machines as nice!
Congratulations!
I better get out of my lazy winter hibernation mode and start looking, now that spring is here! :lol:

Wow nice find. I would almost be willing to live with a snowy winter to have access to such a rich antique market.
